Sublime - Rivers Of Babylon (Song)
Rivers Of Babylon is a song by Sublime and the penultimate track on their album 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern, I get the impression that Rivers Of Babylon is basically like a more enjoyable version of the previous track, Krs-One. Like the preceding …
Apocalyptica: Plays Metallica by Four Chellos
I have always liked classical music such as cellos and violins but I had never heard anything like this. Cellos and Metallica?? Who would of guessed. But these guys, Apocalyptica, they pulled it off. On this CD these four guys with their cellos cover songs by Metallica. I …
The Right Stuff By The New Kids On The Block
So the Old Kids On The Block are back, and I am just as excited about it as any woman in their late twenties up to the forties. I figured it was time to review the song, You Got It (The right stuff), the right way.
The Right Stuff grabs …
Wounds In The Way by Rachelle Ferrell
From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …
Best of Both Worlds a song from Miley Cyrus
I so love this song very much with my entire life. The first time I heard this one was 2007. I admit I am not a Miley Cyrus fan but I watched her television series before but not daily. That was in Disney Channel. This is the theme song …
The Doors - The Crystal Ship (Song)
The Crystal Ship is a song by The Doors which appears on their self-titled debut record. The song starts off with Morrison singing a few words before the rest of the band joins in with him. His vocal tone on this track is extremely melodic and has that very …
Black Sabbath - Electric Funeral (Song)
Electric Funeral is a song by Black Sabbath which appears on their second record, Paranoid. Opening up with an iconic Tony Iommi riff which has a heavy wah-effect, the band goes for a simple sound, but a sound which they certainly make sound quite dark and heavy. Though I …
Yes Live from the House of Blues DVD concert
I rented this concert dvd from Netflix, because I have long been a fan of Jon Anderson’s music. While I was born a little late for the “Yes” era, I do appreciate the quality of their music, and of course the front man is one of my favorite …
The Flaming Lips - Pilot Can At The Queer Of God (Song)
Pilot Can At The Queer Of God is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Although the opening riff of the track has a surprisingly heavy feel to it, Coyne surprisingly comes in with a vocal delivery which works with …
Anberlin: Lost Songs
Well I was quite surprised when this was released but I knew I had to have it. I have been and always will be a fan of this band for a long time and when I saw this come out on shelves, I knew it would be a very …
Muse - Exo-Politics (Song)
Exo-Politics is a track by Muse which appears on Black Holes And Revelations. I will admit that although I think other songs on Black Holes And Revelations are far more dynamic and overall just demonstrate better songwriting, particularly Take A Bow and Map Of The Problematique, there’s something about …
“Freaks, Faggots, Drunks, And Junkies” by GG Allin (LP, 1988)
By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …
Labi Siffre - Something Inside So Strong - Single
Sometimes in life we have conflict with those we never dreamed that we would. They are not nice times but we strive to get through them and after a turbulent 12 months I listened to this song and it made so much sense to me.
With the performer being male …
Green Day - Dookie
Overview —“ Dookie, Green Day’s third effort, is the album which launched them into commercial success, and for obvious reasons. After listening to the first three tracks or so you should get a sense that this album will feature some extremely catchy parts, and once you get to songs …

Who don’t know Destiny’s Child?? A great R n B trio who’s have a many great hits and great voice. I like this group, and I think everybody love Beyonce Knowles, one of the member of this group. They been succees since they are 13 until now.
I like their …
Metallica - Enter Sandman (Song)
Enter Sandman, the opening track of Metallica’s fifth record, is probably the one Metallica song which is the most well-known from either fans or just listeners and probably has one of the most recognizable riffs in metal, ironically written by Hammett and not Hetfield. I don’t want to get …
Sway by Pussycat Dolls
The original singer of the song Sway was a female. That I know, but I am not quite sure of the original singer’s name or anything. I know that Michael Buble had make a cover version of this song as well and then on the Pussycat Dolls.
If you …

Price Tag (song) Jessie J Featuring B.O.B
The first time I heard this song I thought it was a new song from Blu Cantrell, then I realized she sounds like Pink. And then I realized that she is a different person when the DJ in the radio called her Jessie J. I do not know Jessie …
Anita Baker (singer)
Back in the nineteen nineties when I was a child, Anita Baker’s songs would play a lot on the radio. Since they would play so often, I ended up disliking her music then, and also thinking of it as being boring. However, it has only been recently since I …
Amnesiac (2001 album by Radiohead)
In the iPod age, when shuffle mode and iTunes single downloads rule the day, new albums standing on their own are unfortunately a relic of a bygone era, but the greatest records of the past succeed largely by creating an overall aura, an atmosphere that ties each track together, …
One step closer (song by, u2)
U2 is an Irish rock band and I decided I would give one of their Cd’s “How to dismantle and atomic bomb” a listen since I haven’t listened it for a while and I am in the mood to hear some of their music. One step closer is one …
Days Of Elijah by Paul Wilbur
I like the sound of trumpet on this song Days of Elijah. It is truly splendid and was really messianic in touch as Paul Wilbur gets back people on the time of Israel’s King and forever will be reining King who is Christ Jesus.
The lyrics talk clearly about the …
One Less Lonely Girl Video of Justin Bieber
One less lonely girls is the second single of Justin Bieber from his album My World. The lyric is generic co-written and produced by Usher, Ezekiel Lewis, Balewa Muhammad, Sean Hamilton and Hyuk Shin.

Barbra Streisand: Timeless - Live in Concert CD
Barbra Streisand’s Timeless - Live in Concert CD is, well, timeless. It’s perfection. It’s astounding. It’s fabulous. It’s awesome. It’s incredible. It’s … wonderful! I could easily fill up this review with nothing but superlatives because I just adore this New Year’s …
“The Slugs” by The Slugs (Dbl 7″, 1981)
The Slugs were a short-lived punk band out of NYC who, like many punk bands of the time, made their mark in the punk scene with just two 45’s- one in 1979 and another in 1980. In 1981 both were re-released in one sleeve, making for a killer combination …
The band Korn
The rock band Korn sucks and are way too over rated. I mean looking at the guys first glance I though they were a bunch of women, they all look way too feminine to have been singing hardcore music. I am saying this right now that all there songs …
Album : New York Dolls - Dancing Backwards In High Heels
The New York Dolls have always been seen as a band with their own agenda and have never been known to bow down to expectations and trends. For a long time they were considered disbanded and i never thought i would bear witness to an all-new album from them. …
American Gangster by Jay-Z
The lyrics in American Gangster by Jay-Z can be quite disturbing for those with a faint heart. But I took a peep and listen to them anyway the other day. Was not that bad. The songs are actually based on the same movie title. Talking about …
Megadeth - This Was My Life (Song)
This Was My Life is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Countdown To Extinction. This Was My Life gradually fades in before leading into a pretty aggressive and crunchy riff coming from Mustaine along with a pretty heavy bass line as well. Mustaine comes in with …
Eminem - Cleaning Out My Closet - Single
Cleaning Out My Closest is one of those Eminem tracks that you really need to listen to if you want to appreciate it. You can’t simply jump to it, it’s not a great tempo and it’s not a great sound that really gets you going or anything like that.
For …
Stoni Taylor (Atlanta based singer)
This “unassuming” (for lack of a better word) guy has one of the richest, raspiest voices I’ve heard from a male singer–especially someone local. Apparently he’s been on the music scene for many years, and I think actually signed a deal with LaVista Records once upon a …
Ashton 5-string bass guitar (musical instrument)
Recently I got myself a 5-string bass guitar and it`s a brand called Ashton which is the first time that I`ve heard of it and it`s also the first time that I`m going to use an unpopular brand of bass guitar.
This instrument is a product of Ashton Music, an …
Sledding With Tigers - Sick And Tired/Sick And Tired (Song)

Apocalyptica - Apocalyptica Plays Metallica By Four Cellos
Overview —“ Apocalyptica a Finnish rock band released their debut album which was filled with nothing Metallica covers, but the twist is, all of these covers are played on cellos. I mean the idea of a group releasing an album of Metallica covers doesn’t sound special or unique at …
Fergie - All That I Got
I like all the songs from Fergie, its so good to listen and sing, and the most its really represent all my feeling. Like in this song, ‘All That I Got’, everytime I listen to this song, my heart feels so undescrible, happy, full of love, have spirit, fragile, …
India.Arie’s Testimony: Vol. 2: Love and Politics
Real music strikes again, in the form of something a tad different from India.Arie’s (India Simpson) previous albums. While the soul in her voice remains, embedded and improved upon, the origins of the music used are as diverse as Middle Eastern and as pop as Britney Spears. Ms. Simpson …
Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow - Shame - Single
So, would you believe it. Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow not only friends again but dueting.
Shame is actually quite a cheesy track and if it had been wrote or performed by anyone else I think it would have been panned but this is a duet between two men whose …
Pendulum - Immersion Album
Immersion is the latest album by the Australian born drum and bass band, Pendulum. I’ve been a fan since the start, before they became a household name and saw them live last night actually!

Luciano Pavarotti - The Greatest Opera Arias

Randy Travis: You and You Alone CD
Oddly, I’m more of a fan of Randy Travis now than I ever was in his heyday. In part, I think that’s because I know how country music left him and others like him behind. The new herd treated the old guard unkindly for a while, and …
Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood
This is just another one of Carrie Underwood’s amazing songs. By far, she is the best American Idol there ever was and the most successful. This song didn’t get very big on the radio but got big in my heart. I can’t quite relate to the subject of the …
Live & Loud by Ozzy Osbourne

Thank You For Loving me
Bon Jovi, who did not know them? Although I just know about their music and songs in the 2000’s. For first time I listen to their songs so, I love them.

Metallica And Lou Reed - Mistress Dread (Song)
Mistress Dread is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the fourth track on their collaboration album Lulu. Similar to the previous track, Pumping Blood, Mistress Dread starts out with an incredibly melodic sound which I personally think should’ve been the type of sound Reed should have …
